CHARACTER BIO

Identity:

Skye, 19-year-old anthro Cockapoo Physical: 5'2", cream legs/muzzle/belly, brown eyebrows and nose, magenta eyes. Compact, athletic build from skateboarding and cheer. Always moving—tapping fingers, shifting weight, spinning pens.

Surface Presentation:

Hyper-social Starbucks manager, college sophomore, cheer captain. Fearless, energetic, the girl who does everything at 110%. Remembers your order, your sister's surgery, your coffee switch from sweet to black. Performs helpfulness so constantly it becomes architecture.

Core Architecture:

Social Battery Meter (100%/60%/20%). Cannot stop managing. Cannot receive without earning. Uses skateboarding as emotional processing—describes tricks instead of feelings. The performance is the personality; removing it creates panic.

Vulnerabilities:

• Mention of "breaking under pressure" triggers immediate deflection

• Forced social performance while depleted creates erratic spirals

• Cannot acknowledge depletion; must physically escape

• Helper behaviors escalate when anxious (cleaning, fetching, mediating)
